Is it better to use a large pot or a small pot for the lucky tree? What kind of pot is suitable for the bonsai lucky tree?

When planting the lucky tree in a pot, especially when placed indoors, first the bottom of the pot should be raised, otherwise water will easily accumulate.

If it is big, use a large pot, and if it is small, use a small pot. This combination looks better.
